This list seems to be Mr. Spammer's favourite now... Shouldn't we disallow
messages from non-subscribers silently?

I second this. Most of the spams I've got today have been from LVM. :(

Not only that, if they have the list's email, wouldn't that mean the
emails on the petition page could also be had?  *shudder*

I was under the impression that many e-mail harvesters look for
"mailto:user@hostname.tld" to find active e-mail adresses, instead of
grabbing anything with a @ sign and at least one . ... Anyways, I did a
small (cheesy) munging of the e-mail adresses on the petition page...

[linux-lvm] List admin: was Spam

I propose the following aproach:

1. Posting is restricted to members by default.

2. To post from a non-subscribed account please drop a message to
   linux-lvm-approval@msede.com to get write permission to the
   list. You are then added to a list of accounts which can
   post to the list w/o beeing subscribed.

3. All non subscribed posts are bounced to the list admin
   and could be forwarded to the list or added to the
   list of acceptable accounts.

This should take care of valid concerns against restricting posting.


Other choices:

- drop messages which neither have linux-lvm in To or CC
- ignore the Spam (for now).


If you care about the recent spamming, please send any comments
or suggestions to me (instead of the list) and i will post a
summary. This should avoid an endless discussion.
